Less than one month

We finally got back some pictures from our photographers. I gotta say – I’m impress with their work. I’m glad we got some of the pictures back early – so we can work on our slide show for the wedding. Everything is under control and on track. I’m getting anxious and excited. More like we are excited for the day to end that day. Over a year in advance planning – all for one day? Yes – I wonder how people do it in four months? Can you even book a venue in four months? That’s a bit risky though. Just a couple more weeks to go.

Shopping Online

I’ve been getting packages from all over the world because I’ve been shopping online. From nail products to urban clothing to makeup. Shopping online is quite convenient and addictive – sometimes I can’t even help not to check the deals out. It’s kind of dangerous but its fun shopping right? I’ve been out of control and I admit to that. It’s hard to stop myself – but I gotta because I want to save up for a car soon. Hopefully I can get myself under control. Are you a shopaholic too? Hard to stop eh?

Vase for Wedding Centerpieces

We decided to swap the idea of having a centerpiece for our wedding – that lift off a lot of stress in searching for the perfect vase for us. Centerpiece can be quite expensive because it’s almost like the center of attention and you gotta have the perfect one. So we decided not to have one – not only because it’s expensive. It’s because we couldn’t find the perfect vase. It’s hard sometimes – we want something unique and tall but where can we find right? I don’t want to order online because these things break when shipment comes and it’ll be another headache to deal with. We’ll have a bottle of red wine, a menu, and a table number in the center of the table anyways – that’s already overwhelming – that’s why we decided to swap the idea of having a centerpiece. Did you have a centerpiece at your wedding? Share a picture with me!

Thinking of getting a new bed set

I love looking at bed sets and especially bed sets by matouk. I’m thinking of getting a new bed set for our new king size bed in April/May – we are getting a new bed when we move back upstairs. I always love sleeping on a King size bed because it’s a lot bigger than sleeping in a Queen size. I’m excited to get a new bed and mattress and same with a new bed set

Looking for Valentine’s Day gift?

Valentine’s Day is coming up within a month – have you thought of a present for your other half yet? I’m getting on that – there’s so much special days lately and I’m seriously not good with gift ideas and I made him tons of these “mini pillow” key chains and cell straps already. What else does he want? I know he doesn’t expect anything from us – but I want to make it a little more special each year. I’ll probably bake him a heart cake this time around – I never really baked him anything because I’m lazy. Not the lazy part of baking but the part of cleaning is the problem. There’s a lot of cleaning after baking. What do you have planned for your other half?

My Health

If you follow my blog – you would know that I’ve gone back to China in April-May for about a month and a half. While I was there – I saw a Chinese doctor. He basically said everything right – my health isn’t as good as you think I am. Really – he even knows that I have a lot of anger in myself and I gotta let it go. There was a few problems and he gave me some medicine to take home which I needed to take for a few days. Oh my – this reminds me how BITTER it was – I never tried drinking Chinese medicine before. But I did want to finish my medication and see the results. It worked like magic – most of those problems went away.

There were some stuff that I was upset about after I came back from my vacation – dealing with opinionated people were one of them. But I told myself not to get mad or get angry because of my health issues. I didn’t want to cause anymore health problems in the future. I let it slip and just pushed it away and not deal with it. It’s not about fighting back anymore – it’s about take a deep breath and forget it.

Now I chose to live a stress-free and angry-free life because I know I needed to and wanted to. My health has changed and gotten a lot better after those BITTER medicines. I never believed in Chinese medicines – but those medicines did help a lot. What the doctor read was right – he basically told me not to think so much – I’m a thinker. Have you ever seen a Chinese doctor before?

Our Pet nearly survived one whole year!

I never really took pictures of our pet, gold fish – because you know fishes don’t stay still and it is really hard to take a picture. We got this fish last year around the same time. We actually got two fishies but the other one died after one month. Kind of sad – but it is kind of expected because they are so young. I never thought this fish survived for this long. ONE entire year and it is still living. *Knock on woods* – hope it grows even bigger and than we can buy a bigger fish tank for it. I mean – we did plan to get another fish – so she won’t get that bored. But we have our worries – what if they don’t get along and starts killing each other right? I guess we’ll hold that idea off.

Having a fish as a pet is one of the easiest task because all we need to do is feed it once a day and change water once every two weeks. How hard can it get right? We do plan to get a puppy in the future when we get our first home – but that is still another debate if I can handle the mess and the work. It’s a lot of money and time. Would I walk the puppy every day? I am not so sure – maybe yes in the summer and definitely NO in the winter because I hate the cold. Do you have a dog? I love dogs but I dislike the cold. What should I do? I know at the end – my fiance will leave the decision up to me. I just don’t know!

I do want a salt water aquarium one day! That is one expensive entertainment to have but one day I want my nemo fish, star fish, sea horse, corals  and other sea animals. It’ll look amazing!

Christmas Presents Ideas ??

It’s nearly October and I’m already thinking of Christmas presents for my family, fiance’s family and my friends already! Since I work this year – I can afford to get everyone a Christmas present now But I’m a sucker at thinking of presents. The hardest part is getting my fiance something because he’s the most pickiest person on earth. Is your hubby/boyfriend like mine too??? I don’t want to get him something that he wouldn’t like or he would go exchange. I guess when I’m home now – I just gotta concentrate on what he says – maybe that will help?? haha.

Are you planning for Christmas already? Two more months but as you know – time flies by really fast – so gotta plan ahead since I hate doing things last minute. Are you planning yet???

Furniture Shopping

I spent the day looking at furniture with my best friend last Saturday. After we checked out the ipad warranty at best buy – we headed down to downtown to different furniture stores. They sure do have some unique pieces than Ikea. I even got the chance to take some pictures at the shop. I’m also looking out for furniture for my fiance and I, because as you know – our wedding is next year and we plan to move back upstairs and renovate the two rooms up stair – one for our bedroom and one for our office.

But for other furniture – it’ll be in three years once we get our first house. You know – I’m more interested in getting new furniture than LV bags. Am I weird or what?? I love house decorations.

So many designs at this shop – but gotta wait. These pieces are not cheap – most of these pieces came from different places. Pretty expensive.

Do you like looking at furniture too???

Looking into our first House…

You see – we are getting marry next year and people would usually ask, if we are planning to buy our first home yet. We answer – not yet because we need to save up enough for down payment. But really the answer to that question is, I really need help with our first baby. Yes – we are planners. We don’t just plan a year ahead – we plan a few years ahead. I just don’t want to be alone in the house with a newborn and having the husband to be at work. You know what I mean? I know I know – sometimes I gotta do it myself – but if the mother in law doesn’t mind helping. That would be awesome. I learn a lot from her now too. Not just about life – but about everything and I’m glad we get along pretty well. No hate relationship at all.

I was at a house party of my god mother’s ex co-worker/friends house and boy – I love her bungalow a lot. The difference between bungalow and a house is – Bungalow only have one floor and a basement. The bedrooms, washrooms, kitchen, storage, living room, dining room, front door and back door is ALL on one floor. While a normal house would have 2 floors + the basement.

This place that we went to was pretty far from us – it was in Stouffville – Aurora and it was like 30minutes from where I live. This place is pretty new and there’s really nothing much there. No shopping mall or grocery stores. Really hard to get to places I must say and to hold parties there must be hard too. Who would drive all the way up there right?

We are looking out and researching about houses and condos right now – although we are not yet ready to buy our first home – but it’s always great to look and to know what we want right?? Any good advices??
